Wednesday Worlds of Wonder MERCHANTS OF VENUS Part 2
Charming, rougish (yet honest) tour guide Audree Walthers is engaged by a rich couple to visit (hopefully) untouched Heechee archeological sites on Venus, hoping to find artifacts.
(The Heechee were the inhabitants of the planet, but none are currently known to be alive, so their cities and habitats are considered "abandoned" and legally-salvageble!)
After a couple of days of preparations, the expedition departs...
What will they find?
What might find them?
Be Here
Next Wednesday

Reading Room JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY "Three Who Vanished"
One of the joys of doing things like Reading Room...
...is uncovering a rarely-seen work by one of the greats in the business, like this tale from Atlas' Journey into Mystery #50 (1959)!
With a (admittedly somewhat-misleading) cover by Joe Sinnott, interior art by Steve Ditko, and script probably by Larry Lieber (Stan Lee almost always had his byline on his own scripts), it's a great example of the sort of energy and creativity that was just waiting for a spark to coalesce into what would become Marvel Comics only a year or so later.

Easter Egg-citement with Walt Kelly!
April Fools Day is this coming Saturday...
...but we don't believe in waiting to play an April Fools Day trick on you!
This centerfold from Dell's Four Color Comics: Easter with Mother Goose #103 (1946) is a splendid example.
Can you find the bunnies, chicks, and eggs hidden in the art?
